Finding Vegan is a website I started in July 2011. I started it because I realized that there were SO many amazing vegan blogs and recipes on the internet. I really wanted one website where I could browse vegan recipes and keep up to date with my favorite bloggers. Instead of remembering to visit ten, twenty blogs a day - I can just browse FV daily and check out which recipes catch my eye. The front page changes every hour, so checking the site can become quite addicting! And the best part about FV is that it allows me to discover blogs and recipes I might never have come across otherwise. Some of my favorite blogs were discovered via Finding Vegan!

New Vegan Heaven. I send ALL my newbie vegan friends to Finding Vegan. Using the search box and categories, I tell them that they can find a vegan recipes for pretty much just about ANYTHING they crave. Thousands of recipes to search..
Trusted Resource. FV has grown to become a go-to resource for anyone looking for a wide variety of blogger-created vegan recipes. Browse the photos and click on any post to be taken directly to the full recipe on the authors' website. ALL our content has been submitted by the bloggers themselves - no funny business. (Bloggers submit, we approve our favorites!)

Did you know that @findingvegan is the best way to share your vegan food pics? Their new interface makes it even easier! DO IT.

Blogger Testimonials:

"Finding Vegan is the number-one traffic source for my blog, Vegan Iowan. When I began blogging, I felt like I had valuable content to share, but didn't have anyone to whom it really spoke. Finding Vegan has drawn thousands of people to my blog in the few short months of its existence, and its readers have sparked great conversation and provided excellent feedback to my posts. As a relatively new vegan, Finding Vegan is also an invaluable resource as I discover recipes and navigate my new lifestyle. It's the perfect platform for vegans to exchange recipes and learn from each other!" - Kelly, Vegan Iowan

"I've been submitting to Finding Vegan since the beginning. It's easy and quick to post, and the site is very welcoming and accessible for bloggers. I'm not a superstar photographer, and my photos are often rejected by the 'glamorous' sites, but I know they always have a home on Finding Vegan. That's because Finding Vegan is primarily about the food, vegan food, and sharing ideas and inspiration with others. I love perusing the site as a visitor, as I always find something creative and delicious-looking to whip up in my kitchen. Finding Vegan has also brought tremendous exposure to my blog. It is the #5 all-time referrer to my site. Whenever I have a post on Finding Vegan, I always get lots of click-thru's.

Great Work Kathy, keep going.." - Hema, Aromatic Cooking

Who knew you can bake mouth-watering vegan chocolate chip cookies or vegan blueberry muffins that are just as good (probably better) than the non-vegan version? Certainly not me just a couple of years ago. That's why I love FV soooo much!" - Mike, TheIronYou

"Seven months ago, when I submitted my first food photo to Finding Vegan, I had no idea how important FV would become to the health of my blog, Vegan Yumminess.
